We manufacture an ActiveX control that has thousands of installations
and the only product we have trouble with is another Microsoft
product!  We are using Access 2000 and Windows 2000.  The component is
a telephony component that needs to fire events when it see them like
OnRing for an incoming call coming in, OnConnected when the line is
connected, etc.

If I place a method in the OnRing event handler to answer the phone
when a ring is detected, the OnConnected event never fires.  However,
the method does execute, the answer occurs, and in our ActiveX we can
display it's own log utility as part of the ActiveX and IT clearly
shows the OnConnected event fired, Access just didn't register it.  If
I do not try to automatically answer the phone in one of our event
handlers by clicking a button to execute the same method that was in
the ring event handler, then the OnConnected event fires.  Does anyone
have any idea how to deal with this?

Is this a timing issue?  Or maybe something to do with an event
handler from a component executing a method that will cause another
event to fire in the same component?  Thanks.
